A 17-year-old Class 12 student was allegedly stabbed to death outside a Government school in southwest Delhi's Mohan Garden area following an altercation between two students over the prescribed school shoes, police said on Sunday.
Five accused, including three minors and two adults, have been apprehended in connection with the murder, three of whom are students of the same school, they said.
The incident took place on October 14 when a PCR call regarding a stabbing incident near a Government school in Mohan Garden was received at 6.10 pm at the local police station. The victim, a resident of Mohan Garden, had sustained stab injuries and was taken to Tarak Hospital, where he succumbed during treatment, the police said.
